NZMJ Obituaries
Sharing the life of those who shared so much themselves.
For over 100 years The New Zealand Medical Journal has been
the leading medical journal for the profession in New Zealand.
Publishing an obituary in the Journal is a way to create a
permanent record and pay tribute to the life of a doctor as
a medical professional and a respected colleague, but most
of all as a person to be remembered.
If you or someone you know would like to write an obituary
for a doctor who has passed on, the New Zealand Medical
Journal would be very pleased to receive and publish it.

Pro-equity climate change and environmental sustainability action
by district health boards in Aotearoa/New Zealand
Hayley Bennett, Paula King
As outlined in the 2018 'Letter of Expectations' from the Minister of
Health, climate change action is now expected of DHBs. We argue that
this - and all other - DHB action must be pro-equity to achieve fair health
outcomes for Māori and Pacific populations. Three scenarios are proposed
in the areas of DHB energy use, transport and purchasing where climate
pollution could be reduced, and health determinants and outcomes for
Māori and Pacific peoples improved. The scenarios show that by taking
a sustainability and equity perspective, it is possible for DHBs to move
beyond disease treatment to create health and equity solutions.
